Not financially, but actually keeping things in order and making sure everything gets paid in a timely manner?
Those living at home or only paying one or two bills need not respond.
I'm looking for people running households.

I pay all my bills on the same day. I do the math to see how much everything comes to then just spend one morning cutting checks. It' s usually bout a week before the end of the month so that I dont forget anything...

Automatic Bill Pay through the Internet/Phone
Gotta keep an eye open for extra charges, tho:
Car Insurance
Home Insurance
Phone/Inet/Cable
Car Payment
PG&E (a specific amount every month)
Water/Garbage
all comes out of through Auto Bill Pay.
Never had an issue with Auto Pay but the only bad thing up is if your card gets cut off due to Security Issues (somebody you did business with at anytime got hacked), then you get a new card number and you gotta reset everything else up again. Sucks. But overall, I do the Auto Bill Pay, set the bills to get paid on certain dates and check my acct a couple of days later. -
i dont stress on the wack bills like internet and gas n ? ....i pay the due amount only....rent, u gotta keep that good of course (pay ahead if u get a chance)....and i was doing my car note in pieces there for a min lol....? whatever works for you tho...people maintain differently....my daily expenses outside of bills is what kills me....i know this and still do the same ? smh
EDIT: i DO NOT ? with auto-pay no more...them hoes do what they want and can snatch money when they feel like it
i pay rent & lights online cuz its a dollar....i get all my cash out in one ? for the rest....no swiping/transaction/ATM fees -
Automatic deduction from my direct deposit account into my other bank account
Manually pay em to keep an eye out for any ? -
? comes in the mail. I check my bank account to see how much doe I'm gonna have left when the checks go through. I write the checks and send them out in the mail.

real ? right here......
or rather my weekend expenses ? my budget -
I forgot to pay the light bill, hope they cut it back on before I get home.

pay face to face,due date,balance due..only way to do things for me..
-
add up my totals for the bills (the average) then i cut that in half, so if my bills are 1100, then i tell the bank to take 550 out of each of my checks, deposit into checking, then the rest goes to savings. all my bills except rent are automatically debited to my checking. Sometimes ill have to transfer more to my checking in case i go over on the internet or phone usage. never a whole lot tho. But i always got rent at the beginning of the month and everything else in the middle so it works just about everytime i get paid. sometimes it will bill before i get paid and wont work, so ill have to call them when i get paid to pay.
-
I pay my ? ahead of time so I don't stress. You can call and see how much you owe and just pay that ?

"I forgot" means "I spent the money" -
Everything withdrawn electronically from my account. I pay rent directly to my landlord though, i need to physically hand them my money with a receipt to make sure no shady ? goes on.
I also check my bank account daily, ? like me ain't getting no overdrawn fee. ? knows when i use to ? with Bank of America they would ? me with fees. -
